With over 100 leading vendors already on board, McAfee SIA is the security industry's premier technology-partnering program, delivering solutions to maximize the value of existing customer investments, while reducing time to problem resolution and lowering operational costs."

In support of the McAfee SIA partner ecosystem, McAfee is hosting its fourth annual McAfee SIA Developer Conference in Las Vegas. The conference will be held in conjunction with McAfee FOCUS 11 which is being sponsored in part by 25 McAfee SIA partners that will showcase their solutions in the exhibition hall. During the McAfee SIA Developers Conference, McAfee will also present the 2011 SIA Partner of the Year award to Autonomic Software, a provider of desktop and power management solutions. This award is given to one SIA partner for building the most creative integration with McAfee technology and collaborating with McAfee to deliver significant sales and customer value.
